A hunting tree stand adjustment device and a method of using a hunting tree stand adjustment device when hunting in a climbing tree stand. The abstract of the disclosure is submitted herewith as required by 37 C.F.R. 1.72(b). As stated in 37 C.F.R. 1.72(b): A brief abstract of the technical disclosure in the specification must commence on a separate sheet, preferably following the claims, under the heading Abstract of the Disclosure. The purpose of the abstract is to enable the Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and gist of the technical disclosure. The abstract shall not be used for interpreting the scope of the claims. Therefore, any statements made relating to the abstract are not intended to limit the claims in any manner and should not be interpreted as limiting the claims in any manner.

A retractable gaff guard which can be attached to a climber for use in protecting the gaff of a climber. A small retractable reel attached to a gaff guard via a cord woundable in an out of a housing of the reel that can attach on the outside of the leg iron of a climber. The cord is moveable between a retracted position and an extended position. Attached to the cord is a protective body that has a cavity which is dimensioned to receive a gaff of a climber.

The present invention provides a climbing gaff kit. The climbing gaff kit includes a pair of brackets angularly affixed to a central portion, wherein the central portion is removably securable to an elongated member of an existing climbing gaff or spur. Each bracket extends downwardly and includes an arm extending perpendicularly from a lower end thereof. A pair of adjustable foot plates are secured to the arms of the brackets, such that the foot plates are perpendicular disposed in relation to the elongated member.

An installation tool for tree steps is disclosed allowing for one-handed operation through inserting the tool onto the tree step in either a perpendicular or parallel orientation to the tree step, with the orientation of the tree step to the tool chosen based on the amount of torque desired when installing and removing a tree step. The tool is placed onto the tree step in a parallel orientation by placing the platform portion of the tree step inside the tool's central cylindrical cavity. The tool is placed onto the tree step in a perpendicular orientation by placing the platform portion of the tree step inside the tool's slot-and-lock system and securing the lever portion of the tree step against one of the slots using a groove cut into the tool's main body. This perpendicular orientation effectively extends the lever portion of the tree step and provides additional leverage to the user. The tree step is additionally ergonomic through the use of such features to aid in gripping the tool as a thermoplastic polymer to reduce friction between the user and the tool, a palm swell, and a textured handle surface.

An improved trampoline is disclosed having one or more upright supports and one or more steps on one or more upright supports. The steps may be spaced apart along an upright supports. The step is preferably on an upright support generally in line with a netting support pole and an opening in the netting.

A fall prevention assembly to prevent injuries when a user climbing a pole and falls, is provided. The fall prevention assembly includes a pole strap, a first connector, a floating back plate, a second connector and a lanyard. The pole strap has a first end, a second end and a mid portion between the first end and the second end. The first connector has a first end that is slidably coupled proximate the first end of the pole strap. The floating back plate is engaged between a portion of the first connector and the pole strap and is configured and arranged to selectively bind the pole strap to the first connector. The second connector is coupled a select distance from the second end of the pole strap. The lanyard has a first end, a second end and mid portion between the first and second ends. A second end of the first connector is slidably coupled to the lanyard. A second end of the second connector is slidably coupled to the lanyard such that the mid-portion of the pole strap and the mid-portion of the lanyard can be positioned around a pole to be climbed.
